[Bug 1561572] Re: Grub fails to install bootloader on NVMe drives

[Stephen Clay]

** Description changed:

  On a new NUC 6th Generation i3 / i5 from Intel installed with an NVMe
  SSD the installation process find the drive but grub fails to detect it
- correctly or install the boat loader in the disk.
+ correctly or install the boot loader in the disk.
  
  This is the latest daily download of Ubuntu-16.04-desktop 64bit
  This uses this standard grub for this version (I believe it is grub that fails to install the boat loader)
  
  After booting the system and going completely through selecting the disk
  and installing all the software it then fails to install the bootloader.
  
  What happens instead it gives a list of devices and selecting either
- n1p1 or just n1 it does nothing.
+ n0p1 or just n0 it does nothing.
